1 Hg2+ and Cd2+ binding of a bioinspired hexapeptide with two cysteine units constructed as a minimalistic metal ion sensing fluorescent probe. Metals CD2 molecule Homo sapiens
2 Both metal ions form bis-ligand complexes by the coordination of four Cys-thiolates at ligand excess above pH ~ 5.5 (Cd2+) and 7.0 (Hg2+). Metals CD2 molecule Homo sapiens
3 The fact that this occurs even in the presence of 1.0 eq. of Cd2+ per ligand reflects a complete displacement of the latter metal ion by Hg2+ from its peptide-bound form. Metals CD2 molecule Homo sapiens
